When I was a kid, a neighbor of ours had a similar hairstyle and and mustache similar to Rio Blast's. His name was Rick. In my mind, the figure was always "Rick" as a kid...I don't think I knew the character's name was Rio Blast until adulthood. So, I would be really happy if Rio's real name ended up being Rick :hmgrin:

I found my vintage one(complete and near mint!) in storage and now I'm completely sold on getting him in Classics. I have *no* idea how they'd do it, but he needs to happen.

What does everybody think are the chances that Rio Blast will be released with his "special features" intact? I know that they would probably have to sacrifice his ab crunch (like Roboto) in order to have his chest open up. What are everyone's thought on this?

Honestly, I figure they'll probably do things like they did with Snake Face - armor pieces that come off and are replaced with the pop out pieces. Means we won't have that cool hole in his chest, but also means we may not have to sacrifice the chest joint (though I totally would for Rio-Blast).

Hard to say, though! They could surprise us. What I'm hoping for is extra parts like his big 'ol grenade launcher from the 200X statue and maybe that scouter thing on his left eye. Other than that, I have to imagine they'll come up with some good ways to give him his features without taking away too much. I think the biggest question is the hands: will they be able to do something that still allows him to hold other things? We'll see.

Gosh I sure hope not.:hmsad: I'm really tired of all the faux/fake action features. They should realize that IF they make him with a hole in his chest like the vintage figure that they can use that torso for such figures as Buzz Saw Hordak and even a possible Colonel Blast figure. I really hope they don't cop out his action feature for the sake of ONE articulation point.

I hope that if MOTUC continues, the 4H can sculpt his head like the vintage figure. I think the Vintage figure had one of the best heads ever! I hope they don't get rid of Rio-Blast's trademark '80's haircut'! They can always do a Colonel Blast alternate head for a 200X display option.

If Rio is not in mind for 2014 or 2015 Matty may have a riot on their hands.

i'm just glad that he will be symmetrical like the vintage figure & not that awful 200x version. & he needs to be snap on/plug-in like snake face & stonedar

Ree-o for sure. As in Rio De Janeiro or the Duran Duran song, whichever means more to you.
